"Ashton"

Introducing "Ashton"! Ashton is 6 years old, and living in South America. He is diagnosed with hydrocephalus.

Ashton is a social boy who loves to be around others. He enjoys listening to music, painting, and watching TV. 

He is a pleasant boy, who is good at sharing. There is no information in his bio regarding treatment for his hydrocephalus, but the agency could give you more info. 

Ashton is also diagnosed with a developmental delay, or disability. This is a very broad term that can include delays in the areas of speech, motor, or learning. Some delays have an explainable cause while others may not. Children who have experienced trauma, abuse, and neglect are more likely to have developmental disabilities. Treatment can include various therapies such as speech, occupational, and physical therapies, and these delay gaps may close over the years as a child ages. Many people with developmental disabilities go on to lead full and fairly normal lives. Early intervention is crucial for children with developmental disabilities. 

In Ashton's case, he most notably has delays in the areas of speech and motor. This could be a result of his hydrocephalus. Ashton is not yet walking as of October 2022, and was only speaking in short phrases and sentences. He was receiving both speech and physical therapies at the time. Contact an agency to learn more about Ashton's developmental disabilities and how they impact him!
